have any of these been confirmed though?
They talk of rotation as an actual touchdown.

Good morning! Reading for news out of Huntsville this morning, it seems folks in the greater Huntsville area take weather very seriously (after that tornado in Nov 89, I would, too!). They even let schools out early yesterday, based on the certainty of foul weather and the possibility of tornados.
A tornado was reported on the ground south of the airport and 565 by both EOC and airport officials. Of course, in pitch black and pouring rain, it could have been NOT quite on the ground, and would be difficult to tell. I heard the man call in from Redstone Arsenal, and also one of the station's reporters, both describing the loud roaring. At the same time, viewing the system on enhanced radar via WHNT, the size and strength were considerable. The sheer at one point "the highest I've ever seen in one of these (cells)" by the meteorologist. I believe that's why he said at one point, "This could be an F4, folks." So I do believe there was a strong cell, whether or not it touched down is still in question.
Right after that storm passed the area, I called my SIL. I had been very worried about her, on a 600ft-high hill, with a steep dropoff to the west, even a storm not on the ground in the valley could hit them. She said they had golfball-size hail, that the tornado/funnel (by local warnings) went by about 1/2 mile from them. She and the next-door neighbors with 2 kids were "camped out" in the storm shelter of their basement, and planning to stay until all the severe weather had passed. Smart people there in Huntsville area!!
